Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of straw production technology, specifically to a continuous straw production device with waste recycling function. Background Technology

[0002] A straw is a long, thin tubular tool used to drink liquids. It is usually made of materials such as plastic, paper, metal, or glass, and is typically 10 to 30 centimeters long with a diameter of about 0.5 to 1 centimeter. The basic principle is that by inhaling through the mouth, the air pressure inside the straw decreases, and the external atmospheric pressure forces the liquid into the tube, thus allowing for convenient drinking without tilting the container.

[0003] In the straw production process, one end of the straw needs to be cut at an angle to facilitate drinking from the cup. While this process optimizes the user experience, it inevitably generates small pieces of waste—usually plastic fragments about 0.5 to 1 centimeter in length. In actual production, these lightweight waste pieces often splatter due to the impact of cutting and easily adhere to the subsequent straw conveyor belt. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned problems, this utility model proposes a continuous straw production device with waste recycling function that can separate waste materials and ensure the cleanliness of straws.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution proposed by this utility model is: a continuous straw production device with waste recycling function, comprising:

[0006] The bracket includes a base, a support plate, and a support ring. The support plate is located above the base and is connected and fixed to the base via a support rod. The support ring is located above the support plate and is connected and fixed to the support plate via a support rod.

[0007] The straw holder is rotatably connected to the support ring and is driven to rotate by a motor fixed on the support plate. It has several straw slots on its side wall and the upper end of the side wall is a beveled surface.

[0008] The cutting blade is located on one side of the upper end of the straw holder and is set to fit the beveled surface. It is connected and fixed to the support plate by a connecting rod.

[0009] The recycling trough is fixedly installed on the side of the cutting blade at the upper end of the connecting rod;

[0010] The material receiving mechanism includes a material discharge port and a material receiving guide seat. The material discharge port is located directly below any suction tube groove on the support ring and the support plate, and is aligned vertically. The material receiving guide seat is fixedly mounted on the base.

[0011] Furthermore, two support rods are symmetrically arranged, and several support rods are equidistantly arranged along the support ring.

[0012] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the straw holder is provided with several arc-shaped guide plates at equal intervals near the inner edge of the support ring, and the support plate is provided with a guide ring groove matching the arc-shaped guide plates, with the lower end of the arc-shaped guide plate slidably disposed in the guide ring groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the recycling tank is an arc-shaped plate with its end away from the suction tube seat inclined downwards, and a baffle is fixedly provided on the side away from the cutting blade.

[0014] Furthermore, the width of the receiving guide seat is greater than the width of the support plate, and it has an opening on one side. The inner bottom surface is inclined, and the side closer to the opening is lower than the side farther from the opening.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: the recycling trough is set close to the cutting position. When the cutting blade cuts the rotating straw, the generated waste is immediately guided into the recycling trough. The arc-shaped plate structure combined with the inclined design can quickly guide the waste to slide down for collection. At the same time, the baffle on one side of the recycling trough effectively prevents waste from splashing and falling onto the straw or other parts, causing pollution. The cut straw rotates with the straw seat through the straw groove and finally enters the collection mechanism through the discharge port. Throughout the process, the paths of waste and finished straw are completely separated, preventing contact between the two from the source and ensuring that the finished straw remains clean during collection, allowing it to be used directly without subsequent cleaning.

[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Combined with appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2A continuous straw production device with waste recycling function includes: a support frame, comprising a base 1, a support plate 2, and a support ring 3. The support plate 2 is located above the base 1 and is connected and fixed to the base 1 by a first support rod 4. The support ring 3 is located above the support plate 2 and is connected and fixed to the support plate 2 by a second support rod 5. Two first support rods 4 are symmetrically arranged to enhance the stability of the connection between the base 1 and the support plate 2. Several second support rods 5 are evenly arranged along the support ring 3 to make the force on the support ring 3 more uniform and improve the overall structural stability.

[0023] Combined with appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 4 The straw holder 6 is rotatably connected to the support ring 3 and is driven to rotate by the motor 7 fixed on the support plate 2. It has several straw grooves 8 on its side wall, and the upper end of the side wall is beveled. Several arc-shaped guide plates 14 are equidistantly arranged on the bottom surface of the straw holder 6 near the inner edge of the support ring 3. The support plate 2 has guide ring grooves 15 that match the arc-shaped guide plates 14. The lower end of the arc-shaped guide plate 14 is slidably disposed in the guide ring groove 15 to provide guidance for the rotation of the straw holder 6, reduce shaking, and ensure its stability during rotation.

[0024] Combined with appendix Figure 1 The cutting blade 9 is located on one side of the upper end of the straw holder 6 and is set to fit the oblique cut surface. It is connected and fixed to the support plate 2 through the connecting rod 10. It can automatically and continuously cut the straw when the straw holder 6 drives the straw to rotate.

[0025] Combined with appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 The recycling trough 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the cutting blade 9 at the upper end of the connecting rod 10. The recycling trough 11 is an arc-shaped plate with its end away from the suction tube seat 6 inclined downward to facilitate the sliding of waste. A baffle 16 is fixedly installed on the side away from the cutting blade 9 to prevent waste from splashing and ensure that it falls stably into the recycling trough 11, thereby improving the waste recycling efficiency.

[0026] Combined with appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 Appendix Figure 3 The material receiving mechanism includes a material discharge port 12 and a material receiving guide seat 13. The material discharge port 12 is located directly below any straw slot 8 on the support ring 3 and the support plate 2, and is aligned vertically.

It has an opening on one side, and its inner bottom surface is inclined. The side closer to the opening is lower than the side farther from the opening, which facilitates the collection of finished straws, prevents straws from piling up, and guides the straws to fall automatically.

[0027] The specific implementation of this utility model is as follows: The device is connected to an external power source. The motor 7 drives the straw holder 6 to rotate on the support ring 3. The arc-shaped guide plate 14 slides along the guide ring groove 15 to ensure smooth rotation. The straw to be processed is placed in the straw groove 8 of the straw holder 6 and rotates synchronously with the straw holder 6. When the straw moves to the cutting blade 9, the cutting blade 9, which is in contact with the beveled surface, continuously cuts the straw. The waste generated is collected by the recycling tank 11. The baffle 16 prevents waste from splashing, and the arc-shaped plate and inclined design allow the waste to slide off automatically. The finished straw continues to rotate with the straw holder 6. When it moves to directly below the discharge port 12, it falls from the discharge port 12 and is collected by the collection guide seat 13. The inclined inner bottom surface of the collection guide seat 13 guides the straw to move towards the opening to avoid accumulation. Throughout the process, the straw holder 6 rotates continuously, realizing continuous feeding, cutting, waste recycling, and finished product collection of straws, efficiently completing the production.
